Protecting Pippa
Debra Parmley - 2018
Pippa has never done one-night stands. She doesn’t even date. Because she is hiding from her crazy ex husband on the other side of the country and hoping he never shows up to kill her. The last time she’d seen him, he’d had his hands around her neck squeezing tight. Before she’d blacked out.

But the chance to have one night to remember behind the safe anonymity of wearing a mask combined with the fact she hadn’t had sex in over a year, created a situation where she didn’t stop herself from saying yes. Tanner “Diesel” Taylor is a SEAL one of the most responsible men on the planet. So responsible that when his mother died while he was in high school, he helped his father run the garage and supported his four siblings.
